I weathered my own ST XI toy phaser so it would look closer to the movie prop and would have that "used" look to it. I sealed the screw holes on the one side and painted it over with Testor's model paint. Then I lightly spray painted the lower half with Krylon matte black paint. After it dryed, I sanded it with fine steel wool, through even the chrome paint in some parts. I also used the steel wool on the upper half. I then painted the barrels with the same Testor's paint to more closely resemble the movie prop. I'm satisfied with how it came out. All of the electronics still work as well as the rotating barrel.
